ACCORDING TO statement in the
Revate Indus 'rislle, o method has been
devised for successfully treating ba-
gasse, the residual canes in sugar max
ing. by means of which, that is, through
direct compression, the material pro-
duces combustible containing not
more than 40 to so per cent. Of water,
and in this state the waste can be burnt
directly in the boiler furnaces or
carbonized without previous dry
ing. This result is obtained by
a preliminary division of the pieces OF
cane in q special apparatus, whereby
the after COMPRISING of the substance
by presses of any convenient kind may
be usefully secured. The compressed
mass is formed into bricks by the addi-
ton of powdered fuel ashes or lime;
and it is remarked as q notable illus
tration or instance of the utilization OF
waste product reacting upon the orig
inal value of the material, that this
conversion of waste sugar-cane into O
useful fuel will render possible spe-
cial treatment Of the cane, which will
result in simplifying processes, saving
labor, etc.
